The New South

Last fall we elected the man from plains

And there's been and lot of talk about a great big change

But the Atlanta Braves they still loose too many games

And the New South thank God is still the same

Old Nashville has still got a song and dance

And the Florida girls still wear no under pants

And we all get drunk at the football games

And the New South thank God is still the same

The New South is still the same and I'm so glad of it

I don't want no little ol' danish rolls, I must have ham and grits

And my woman does look good in her T-shirt, standing in the Georgia rain

And the New South thank God is still the same

Well my ol' grandpa, he still farms the land

And down in Miami the voted in the all over town

And I'm hooked on those Carolina dreams

And the New South thank God is still the same

Well, my Boston girl, she read in the New York Times

That it was very sheek now to speak souther lines

Though she sounds kind of funny when she says y'all come again

And the New South thank God is still the same

The New South is still the same and I'm so glad of it

I don't want no little ol' danish rolls, I must have ham and grits

And my woman does look good in her T-shirt, standing in the Georgia rain

And the New South thank God is still the same

And my Boston girl says she likes it loving on the river bank

And the New South thank God is still the same
